Abstract (en)

E-mail sent from the remote terminals 211, 213 or 215 describes a path name, a directory name and a file name of a file to be generated on a proxy server 200, together with contents of the file to be generated. Upon receipt of this E-mail, the proxy server 200 analyzes this mail, and generates the file which contains the portion interposed between two keywords, with the designated path name, directory name and file name. In another aspect of this invention, E-mail describes a file name or the like of a file to be obtained from the proxy server 200, together with associated keywords. The proxy server 200 converts this file into E-mail format, and sends it to a requestor or another designated recipient. <IMAGE>
